I've been practicing on and off since then (a week or so ago) and know I can finally do it so it looks decent. I can only tie one knot though (double windsor) and it still takes a few tries to get it acceptable, but it makes you feel a little more mature to be able to tie a tie. Now my question is: how many teamliquidians can tie a tie? Poll: Can you tie a tie? (Vote): Of course! (Vote): Nope, unable to do so.. | ||

I only know a few simple variants though, but of course I'm able to do it! This poll should be restricted to people over 19/20 or something though. No reason to be able to if ur younger | ||

I guess I'm going into law, and I used to be a musician so I've tied a lot of ties. I can ALSO do a bow-tie, which is gosu. | ||

Haha yeah, being a musician is the only reason I learned how to tie a tie. I can only do half and full windsor though. Full windsor just looks the cleanest imo, so I just used that one ever since I learned it. | ||

All three of the guys knew how to tie them. That said, it is a skill that can easily be ignored and likely wont hinder you too very much. I'm just weird and like ties. If you're in business later in life you'll want to know how to tie a knot other than the four-in-hand, though. People pay attention to appearances, and tie knots is one of the things some people will notice. | ||
